At the moment it is a problem and the message I get is the same that others are getting.

Yep, it’s a pita today. Managed three ads and n mobile since 12pm, desktop tool isn’t working either.

I do enjoy working from Appen but this issue has been happening for months and they have done absolutely nothing about it.

Does anyone have an email contact for Appen? it says my account is "not yet active". I registered a while ago but didn't complete the paperwork part, as it looked too complicated.

If you log on, there is an envelope symbol at the top of the page in the middle and you can click on that.

I couldn't get going with Forester and now I am booted. My score was low and I kept getting batches of rework that I just couldn't see any errors in. I'm sort of embarrassed because I have an English degree and worked in publishing for a few years but I just couldn't give them what they were looking for. Such a shame because there's loads of work in my locality on that project and it was much better paid that most online transcription mills.

I wouldn't worry about it. I find some of the projects difficult as you really need to be on the same wave length as them. Keep going and different projects will turn up. I think I gave up on the same one.

I'm applying for nile and inari on appen and for both I have to fill out a part saying company currently working as SEE. Can you only be recruited for these projects if your currently working as an evaluator?

From memory Nile first came out while you would be doing Yukon (which was the wse project) so that does sort of make sense though I didn’t know it applied now

No, they are hiring for those roles as standalones at the moment. But,

If you haven't worked for Appen or Lionbridge before I wouldn't appy for one of those roles as a first position anyway.

Those roles last a year at the most, are 7 hours a week each only, and doing them first could stop you getting better paid, long-term jobs with those companies.

If you're a WSE virgin I would apply for Lionbridge first, they have a few roles (not the socal media one) that they are hiring for, but they will not hire you if you have worked for another company.

After that go for apply for a WSE role at Appen. You can add one of the social media jobs once you've been hired.
Probably more info than you wanted, but there you go :D

@GloriaJones, I'm currently doing the ad rating for Lionbridge. Can I also do WSE work for Lionbridge alongside that? And to confirm, it's best to do those roles on Appen only AFTER finishing at Lionbridge?

I tried a few times for the WSE work with Lionbridge but they never got back to me. I will try again with them, if they have other roles I can apply for then no harm trying. I have only done one small job with appen so quite new to it all.

Thanks both for the replies
:)

Lionbridge can be a difficult that's why it's best to work for them first. You should be able to apply for the Maps, or Internet Assessor roles, I think a few people on here have managed to do that, although they may have been approached by Lionbridge. I would go for Maps, the exam is very difficult, but there shouldn't be a conflict with the ads role you're doing.

They do ask when you apply whether you have worked for them previously . Here's a link of what is available. http://www.thesmartcrowd.com/workers/job-opportunities/country/united-kingdom/#jobs-list

Appen don't really care, so apply for then after you have heard from or finished working for Lionbridge.

They've sent me a "welcome to the Bane Project" email, where it basically says the link for the job will be sent soon. But I'm guessing this will be like the last job I qualified for with Appen, where again they made out as if the link would be following shortly to start the job, but months later I'm still waiting :rolleyes:

I got the same email. I’m not holding out much hope to be honest as I’m still waiting for my Figure Eight account to be approved. The fact they suggested looking at their other projects that you can do in the meantime was a bit of a giveaway! I’ve been on Forester but I think all the work has finished now so would be good to have a new project to jump to.

I already has a F8 account though I've never used it. But yeah I don't really get how Appen work, what's the point in sending us these emails if we never actually get moved to the next stage? I've never did any work for them yet or Lionbridge, but I'm lucky I have a contract with Teemwork so that gives me enough to do in the meantime.

Can I ask what you do currently with Teemwork? A contract would be awesome right now.

HI guys - Im on the bane project. it is very much like the Malta projects where you are waiting for work few and far between.

But be warned - the bane project has had massive of problems. (Look on the social tab in Appen - there is a lot of people angry)

Basically it is an auto generated invoice and they have messed up with it all. Its been all over the place with them - with me they gave me extra hours (30 hours in one day which is impossible and my invoice was £400) I was honest about that and this happened to a lot of people. Then they took ages to sort it out which meant that everyone on bane was delayed in submitting their invoice. Then they decided to remove everybody hours from part one of the task (Ive now lost £100) and Im waiting for my invoice to be approved again when with Appen the money normally gets paid today. A lot of people are unhappy with the hours being removed and have said they are not working on the project. Hence why you may have got an email as people are leaving the project.

So just be careful if you want to take up the project expect some hassle with your invoices. There is no chat on bane now as too many people are complaining. They seem to be constantly changing the guidelines.

Bane says "extremely high" levelof work, but there are 4 (or 5) weeks with no tasks. This is my only one project and I was so happy I get invitation, but 0 job, so nomoney at all for April. I need at least 20 hours until the end of month, but probably wont happens anyway. 14th but still no money in from March.
